#16 How to Scale to $10 Million+ Bootstrapped in 5 Years (Whitney Headen, Founder of 19th & Park)

"I had a credit score of 800 and we had revenues of $2.5M and banks STILL said NO."

I sat with this message with a big ass smile on my face.


 I remember throwing my head back, snapping my fingers, and SHOUTING - “Yaaassss, Queen!” In my office.

I had a deep sense of pride, not only as a womxn entrepreneur but a Black womxn.

That pride was in knowing how many mountains Whitney and her team climbed to get where they are. 

Mountains steeper than their counterparts. Period. Point. Blank. 

Did you know that 1.7% of womxn entrepreneurs scale beyond $1M? 

Did you know that nearly 90% of womxn entrepreneurs generate well below $100k in revenue annually? 

Did you know that Black womxn entrepreneurs generate the lowest of our counterparts at $24k annually despite launching more businesses than anyone else? 

Those are the multiple mountains Whitney not only climbed but conquered with her team in just 5 years. 

Here's what you'll learn from Whitney, Founder of 19th & Park:

  • How she built up $10M at a corporate job after they wouldn’t give her a raise so she took her relationships with her.
  • How mindset around what I call “broke PTSD” needs to be nurtured when you scale.
  • How she sustained even after banks say no EVEN when they had $2.5M in the bank and good credit
  • And much more...
